I am fortunate because I have insurance, but Jen, I understand and sympathize with you on those who don't have it. I work with seniors, many of who are struggling to live at or below the poverty level. Many of them have to make decisions every month on whether to buy meds or food! How sad is that? And Medicare D ???? Oh, please, don't get me started. That could be a whole new thread!

Of course, there are places that one without insurance can go to get their meds. Planned Parenthood can help with birth control pills, and many communities haev social service organizations that specialize in helping low income and no insurance folks with their health care costs. We here in Fort Wayne have the Neighborhood Health Clinic, Matthew 25, and even some local churches that help with meds. Often, you just need to call your local 211, and you can get the information you need.
